But don’t celebrate just yet, football fans. There are two important
asterisks here, though. First, you can only watch live NFL games if
CBS All Access streams live programming from your local CBS station.
Currently it does in 150 markets — but not everywhere. Go here to
check. And second, don’t expect to do any streaming on your iPhone
or Android handset; Verizon’s lockdown on mobile NFL games prevents
CBS from broadcasting them on smartphones. You’re good to go on
pretty much everything else, though.

This is a great step for cord-cutters. Verizon still having a strangle-hold on mobile streaming is unfortunate, but it’s a step forward none the less.
